This is a super fun
craft that's very easy to do and a great craft for these summer days. If
you have a craft-loving kid at home, they will enjoy adding their own
personal touches to this personalized door sign.

I designed and sized my
daughter's name using my electronic cutter and software. I then cut her
name (and her friend's name, too) out of vinyl (color won't matter - I
used basic black) and weeded out the extra.

For the next step, I
prepped small 6x6 canvases and then applied the vinyl letters. For best
results, make sure the vinyl is really secure to the canvas, especially
around the edges.

Next is the fun part for
the kids! Set them up with paints (we used acrylics), and let them
paint all over the canvas. When they are done painting, carefully remove
the vinyl lettering.

If your kiddos still
want more, bring out the glitter, sequins, gems, stickers and whatever
other crafty bits you can find and let them bling out their door signs.
Here is my daughter's finished project.

Yay! It is summertime here in the USA and our country's birthday is just around the corner. Melanie here today to share a project I made to add a festive touch to our house. I had a block of wood painted red left over from my daughter's graduation party. Since it was the perfect color for the 4th of July I decided to decorate it with SRM products :) 4th of July stickers galore are available from SRM. I added burlap, twine, and jute to give some texture to the project.

I began by wrapping different border stickers around the block. Then I added in shape and word stickers.

In the lower half of the block, I wrapped burlap around the block. Then I adhered the tag shape sticker on top and finished it off with some twine and jute.

I love the festive look this adds to our home as we prepare to celebrate our country.

Now because these ice cream cones are on the smaller side, I wanted to use more than one on my cards.

I simply thought of a couple different layouts to use with them and then made two cards each with the layouts. Once done, I did some coloring with colored pencils and then added a simple sentiment underneath my cones.

To finish things off, I added all my cards and envelopes in a embossed glassine bag tied off with some jute twine. Easy peasy, right?!...

Hi there SRM Fans! Christine joining you today with a fun, Disney themed layout. One of the best things about the clear stickers is that so many of the sets are so versatile. I have consistently found that I love to use them on scrapbook layouts documenting a visit to Disney. Today I have a new one to show you!

As you can see I used various SRM Stickers to get the job done and worked them in throughtout the layout. Here's a process video showing the creation of the whole layout:

TheBlack Sticker Stitchescontinue to be a staple in my stash, so when I discovered that one of the hearts in the collection already had stitches printed on them, I knew the sticker stitches would be a perfect addition to the other two!

Good morning my crafty, coffee loving friends! We are so excited to be participating in the Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and to be a Super Sponsor too!

Michele here with a card today using the new set from SRM called, Coffee Plans! It is such a fun set! First, here's a look at the stamp! Leave a comment and you might just WIN it!

I loved all of the images and thought, why not use ALL of them on my card? ;).

I cut each image in a different shaped circle and sponged a bit of pink ink while the die was still in place. I used Copics for the images and added glossy accents to each. I think I went a little nutty with the glitter.....but hey! Glitter makes everything better right? (Or is that chocolate?)

I used a large LOVE Die cut because I really wanted to get across how much I LOVE my coffee! I added a few sequins, and a little felt heart to finish off the card.

Hello! Samantha here today to share a project that is perfect for the 4th of July and, as an added bonus it's easy and fast! In my book, it doesn't get much better than an easy project that your kids will love during the busy summer months.

We love taking glow sticks with us when we go out to watch the 4th of July fireworks. Decorating some SRM Magic Wand Tubes is a fun way to package the glow sticks and make sure they don't get cracked and activated ahead of time.

I used one of the border stamps from SRM's BIG Praise God stamp set to create my background. I repeatedly stamped the border in a bright pink ink across my light pink cardstock. Once I had the entire background stamped I die cut my stamped background piece with a large pierced rectangle die and misted the entire piece with some Tattered Angels Pearl Glimmer Mist. I let my panel dry over night and then stamped the big "Thanks' stamp in black ink from SRM's BIG Thank You stamp set and stamped the second half of my sentiment from a stamp set I had in my stash.

I wanted to add a fun little image to go along with my sentiment so I stamped a cute little penguin onto some white cardstock, colored him with some Spectrum Noir markers, and fussy cut around him. I added him to the upper right side of my card right above my sentiment with some foam tape. Cute, right? This card didn't take long at all, you could easily recreate this with any sentiment stamp set you have in your stash. I hope you enjoyed my card today. Thanks for visiting!

Hi! It's Shantaie and my puppy Lilly here, and we have a fun heat transfer vinyl project for you today.

The best attribute to heat transfer vinyl is how easy it is to personalize most anything, like this fashionable doggie bandana!

Use your die cutting machine, or alphabet dies to cut out your pets name. Be sure to cut the heat transfer
in reverse and simply iron onto surface for a permanent bond. Follow
all instructions, and be sure to use a fabric that can handle high
heat.

For my bandana I have used pink heat transfer vinyl
on a pre-made bandana in gray stripes. Lilly is always happy to see the
camera, and pranced around the house as if she were a puppy super model
ha ha. She loves it when she gets something new to "wear"

Keep these bandanas in mind for quick gifts for all the animal lovers in
your life, or whip up a few for your adorable four legged friends for
every season.

Thank you for stopping by the SRM blog today, and for letting Lilly show you her new bandana!!
